he had begged him to buy for him to use.

His parents relented and got him a gun to target shoot with to appease him. He was later expelled for bringing a gun to school. So, he killed his parents at home and brought a gun to school a second time to murder. IT has been a while since I read up on this local case, but I believe I am remembering this right.

I don't want to see him released anytime soon. As far as I am concerned, his sentence as is is fine by me.
